Sara, with her cute little baby bump, got a lot of good baby loot, and we had a great time hanging out in the beautiful weather on the Maine coast for the weekend. [caption id="attachment_906" align="aligncenter" width="551" caption="Sara with one of her gifts"][![Sara with one of her gifts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc03357.jpg?width=551&height=413&name=dsc03357.jpg "Sara with one of her gifts")](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc03357.jpg)[/caption] We also took Emmett out on his first boat ride! Although I'm pretty sure he wasn't a huge fan of the life jacket we stuffed him into. Babies have no necks to begin with, and when you put them in a life vest (which makes normal people lose their necks), they lose the lower half of their faces, too. But man is it ridiculously adorable ...

He's up to 18 lbs. 3 oz. and 28 inches "tall" now! We also got the go ahead to start him on fruits and veggies, too! Applesauce and butternut squash, here we come!
